info on honeymoon registries

Re: Honeymoon registry

I'm doing it. I'm on honeymoonwishes.com. I liked them because they are the only ones who will give you the money whenever you want (paypal or check - your choice). The others won't give it to you until one week before which i personally don't think is very helpful since the honeymoon (at least mine) needs to be fully paid for six weeks before my wedding. They are also great communicators.

Re: Honeymoon registry

Yup, 7%

Re: Honeymoon registry

We are doing honeymoonwishes.com also pretty much b/c you can get your $$ at anytime. I have had a great experinece with them so far!

Re: Honeymoon registry

they charge 7%

Re: Honeymoon registry

I registered at thebigday.com I like them because they are very nice and easy to talk to. Plus i like the website that you can make and your guests can go on and pick what they want to give money towards. you cute. they also charge like 7%. fi and I live together but in a small apt. so we need stuff for a house but also thought the honeymoon registry would be cute.

Re: Honeymoon registry

keep in mind though, with regard to the 7%, that its no different (at least in my opinion) than paying sales tax. And actually, they'd be saving a tiny drop of $$$ since sales tax is more than 7%.

I'm not sure people even realize they're giving you money not the, for example, couples massage so i don't think they'll care about the 7%. But, I could be wrong.

Re: Honeymoon registry

we are doing both.. one registry for some last few home items we still need and one for our honeymoon this way our guests can decide on their own

Re: Honeymoon registry

good point

Re: Honeymoon registry

Re: Honeymoon registry

Yes, Liberty Travel does them.

Re: Honeymoon registry

I think we're going to do one through Starwood Resorts since we're spending one week of our honeymoon at assorted hotels (W, Sheraton, Westin).
